Al-Hirah - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Al-Hirah Al Hirah was an ancient city located south of al-Kufah in south-central Iraq. The rulers of al Hirah, identified as Lakhmids, were recognized by Shapur II (337-358 AD). The first historical Arab kingdom outside Arabia, Al Hirah (4th-7th centuries), in southern Iraq, was a vassal of the Sasanids, whom it helped in containing the nomadic Arabs to the south. www.encyclopedia-glossary.com /en/Al-Hirah.html

Muslim American Society In a number of centers such as Ruha, al Hirah, Jundishapur, and Harran, Christian and Sabaean doctors, many of whom had run away from Church persecution and found refuge in the buffer states between Persia and Byzantium, had built a viable tradition of medical knowledge. Al Idrisi asked for a ball of silver 400 rotols in weight (approximately 400 kilograms) and drew on it the seven continents, their lakes and rivers, cities, routes, mountains and plains, and trade routes, and noted on each the distance, height, or length as measured. Al Mansur, the second 'Abbasi caliph, regarded astronomy with such approval as to ask the Persian astronomer Nawbakht to be his constant companion; and when the latter died, to appoint his son in his place, along with Ibrahim al Fazari, his son Muhammad, 'Ali Ibn 'Isa al Astrolabi, and others. www.masnet.org /history.asp?id=1033

Muslim American Society , had formed the satellite state of Lakhm, with its capital at al Hirah. Al Muthanna ibn Harithah, chief of Banu Shayban, a clan of Banu Bakr, having distinguished himself as one of the heroes of the battle of Dhu Qar against the Persians, had risen in esteem among Banu Bakr. Al Muthanna returned to the eastern front, ahead of his colleague, to recruit more men from the tribes en route, who had been forbidden by Abu Bakr to join because of their earlier apostasy. www.masnet.org /history.asp?id=423

La época preislámica Al no haber documentos históricos, muchos de los relatos se sacaron de la tradición legendaria de la península arábiga y de los restos de tradiciones indígenas que los árabes preislámicos habían conservado. Lejos de ser un mero pasatiempo, la huda´ servía para distraer al camello de las enormes cargas que se le hacían llevar, ya que según los árabes, los camellos son muy sensibles al canto humano. Barbad, un músico cortesano al que se le atribuye la invención de los modos preislámicos, fue modelo de logro literario para el mundo árabe hasta el siglo X. La música árabe preislámica tenía tambien un marcado carácter colectivo. www.samarnet.com /nasser/musa2.htm

Amr Khaled Official Website Le preguntaron al cabo de los días cómo fue esa noche y cómo durmió y les respondió que fue la noche más tranquila de toda su vida, eso es porque tenia un sueño que quería realizar. Al final de la reunión, que duro 3 horas, recogimos 120 hojas llenas de ideas de jóvenes sobre cómo les gustaría que fuera su país dentro de 20 años. Al Baraá Ibnu Málek pidió a los musulmanes que le llevaran sobre sus lanzas y le lanzaran dentro del jardín para que les abriese la puerta. www.amrkhaled.net /articles/articles631.html

iraq.txt Al Jamiya al Wataniya al Islamiya (The Muslim National League) was formed with the object of organizing and mobilizing the population for major resistance. Membership in Al Ahd spread rapidly in Baghdad and in Mosul, growing to 4,000 by the outbreak of World War I. Despite the existence of Al Ahd and of other, smaller, nationalist societies, Iraqi nationalism was still mainly the concern of educated Arabs from the upper and the middle classes. Abu Hamid al Ghazali, one of the greatest Islamic theologians, and other eminent scholars were brought to the Seljuk capital at Baghdad and were encouraged and supported in their work. www.samizdat.com /iraq.txt

Arabia Before Islam On the north it is bounded by Palestine and the Syrian desert; on the east by the kingdom of al Hirah, the Euphrates and Tigris and the Persian Gulf; on the south by the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of 'Adan; and to the west by the Red Sea. Disappointed, he stopped on his way back at the court of Nu'man ibn al Mundhir, Viceroy of Chosroes for al Hirah and surrounding lands of Iraq. One of the officers of this expedi­tionary force was Abratia al Ashram.' Aryat conquered Yemen and ruled it in the name of the Negus of Abyssinia. www.isnacanada.com /prophets/mhhch01.htm

Judge rules Saudis beyond reach of American courts Al Haramain Islamic Foundation: Noting that the State Department has designated two of al Haramain's branches in Bosnia and Somalia as terrorist entities, the lawsuit alleges that the group's leaders have direct links to al-Qaida.

It also alleges that during an interrogation by U.S. authorities, Omar al-Faruq, a senior al-Qaida operative in Southern Asia, confessed that al Haramain was the main mechanism for funding terrorists in the region. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1023245/posts

Islam Online- News Section Born in 809 to an apothecary in Al Hirah, Hunayn went to Baghdad to study medicine as a young man. There he enrolled in the earliest known private medical school in Islam under the direction of Yuhanna bin Masawayh. Al Mutawakil Hunayn died in Bahdad in 873 at the age of 64.

Campaigns in Western Iraq As the army moved forward on the road to Al Hirah, Khalid separated himself from the army, and took an unfrequented route to Makkah with a small escort. It was towards the end of June 633 C E. that Khalid marched with his army from Hirah to Anbar. He accordingly marched with his troops from Hirah, crossed the Euphrates, and arrived at the site of Babylon where the Persian forces under Hormuz were already camped. www.ymofmd.com /books/Companion/13_abu_bakr.htm

Jizya - Enpsychlopedia When the people of Hirah contributed the sum agreed upon, they expressly mentioned that they paid this jizyah on condition that ‘the Muslims and their leader protect us from those who would oppress us, whether they be Muslims or others. Al-Marghinani, in his classical 12th century legal commentary The Hedaya (or al Hidayah), states that jizya means "retribution", and defines it as "a species of punishment, inflicted upon infidels on account of their infidelity, whence it is termed Jizyat"[4] (http://voi.org/books/jihad/app2.htm) Many contemporary Muslim scholars can be cited, including Yusuf al-Qaradawi. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Jizya

Sasanid Empire Around 420, there was a succession struggle within Sasania in which Bahram V eventually won the throne with the support of al Mundir, prince of Al Hirah, an Arab vassal state of the Sasanids in central Iraq. Khosru also deposed king Numan III and annexed Al Hirah. Bahram warred against the Romans (421-422), but was forced to make peace when the Ephthalites began their attacks in the east. www.worldhistoryplus.com /s/sasanidEmpire.html

The Life of Imam Ali (a.s) > The Commander of The Faithful at a quick glance When the Syrians' spirit was broken by the bloody swords of the Iraqis, and the incessant attacks of the night of al-Harir lowered their morale and ended their aspirations `Amr ibn al-`As suggested to Mu`awiyah the trick that the Qur'an should be raised on spears and shouts urged forth to treat it as the arbitrator. From Mu`awiyah's side `Amr ibn al-`As was decided upon and from Amir al mu'minin's side people proposed the name of Abu Musa al-Ash`ari. Now the turn was for `Amr ibn al-`As and he said, "O' Muslims you have heard that Abu Musa removed `Ali ibn Abi Talib. www.imamalinet.net /en/ec/ece/ecega.htm

Makkah, the Kaabah and the Quraysh Moreover, the well-estab­lished fact that Makkah was the rendezvous of the caravans traveling between Yemen, Hirah, al Sham and Najd, that it was connected to the Red Sea close by and there from to the trade routes of the world, further refutes the claim that Makkah was merely a nomad's campsite. Finally, after much investigation, 'Abd al Muttalib was inspired to try the place between the two idols, Isaf and Na'ilah, Helped by his second son al Mughirah, he dug at the place until water sprang forth and the two golden gazelles and swords of Mudad of the Jurhum tribe appeared. The descendants of 'Abd al Dar, for their part, entered into another treaty called Hilf al Ahlaf [literally, the alliance of the allies -Tr.], and the stage was set for a civil war which could have dissolved the Quraysh tribe. www.isnacanada.com /prophets/mhhch02.htm

Articles - Cairo The name Al-Qahirah litterally means "The Subduer," though it is often translated as "The Victorious." The origin of the name is said to come from the appearance of the planet Mars during the foundation of the city. The planet Mars, associated with destruction was called "Al Najm Al Qahir" in Arabic, from which the name of the city was derived. This title was given to the city as many armies were destroyed in attempts to invade Cairo or defeated elsewhere by troops sent from Cairo. gaple.com /articles/Cairo?mySession=00b297f0a96eda27a90efb27056f8dc5

Pre-Islamic Arabia And Its Socio-Religious Condition The extinct ancestors are called al- 'Arab al-Ba'idah (the extinct Arabs) who lived and flourished in dim antiquity but who have gone almost entirely out of existence.

Arabia In about 528, Kindah was partitioned, leading to a civil war which utterly destroyed the state and ushered in an ascendency by Hirah which lasted until the arrival of Islam. A protegé state of Himyar (Yemen) - Hujr was granted the style of King over certain tribes by his step-brother Hasan ibn ‘Amr ibn Tubba’ of Himyar; this is the first instance of a local Arabian ruler to use such a title, which was normally utilized by Arabs to describe foreign rulers. When he died, control over the political and religious forces he had unleashed was given to Successors (Al Khalifah). www.hostkingdom.net /arabia.html
